Years of dependency upon everyone else. Years of begging had taken an emotional toll on this man’s self-esteem and sense of worth.

TITLE: RISE UP AND WALK SCRIPTURE: ACTS 3:1-10 He had become a familiar site to Temple goers over the years. Every day his friends would carry him there and leave him by the Gate called Beautiful.

Giving Back To God: A Personal Reflection SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 12, 2023

What can I give back to the Lord for all the good things He has done for me? This question forms the basis of our sermon, encouraging a personal and thoughtful reflection on our relationship with God.

Today, we will explore a deeply personal and practical question: "What can I give to the Lord for all His blessings towards me?" This question arises from a heart filled with gratitude and a desire to respond to God's goodness. Let us delve into the content of Psalm 116 to find answers. First, we ...read more

Some Visible Results Of Faith Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 7, 2022

When we step out by faith in God, led by the Spirit of God, grounded in the Word of God, we see visible answers to our faith. These answers act as verification for our faith in the unseen spiritual realities and encourage its growth.

HEBREWS 11:28-31 SOME VISIBLE RESULTS OF FAITH [Colossians 1:19; 2:9-10] We have been learning how to leave a legacy through faith lessons from God’s heroes. These men and women became more than they could have imagined because their faith attached them to God. God therefore built His enabling ...read more

Minimalism

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on May 14, 2003

We often try to get away with putting forth the least effort possible in order to achieve the greatest results. But this is far from a Biblical concept. God has a better idea in mind, as he has already shown in Christ.

Passage: 1 Peter 1:13-21 Intro: One of the most prevalent tendencies among human beings is our desire expend as little effort as possible to achieve our goals. 1. weight loss without diet or exercise, pill. 2. destroy Iraqi regime in a week. 3. “what do I need to do to pass this course” 4. ...read more

TODAY IS YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW—3. Josh. 1:1-9 The death of Moses and the subsequent call of Joshua signified a closure to the past and the take-off of a new beginning—the divine assignment for Joshua “Now therefore arise …” is an emphatic and specific instruction to Joshua not so much as it ...read more

Honouring Our Parents

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017

Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

We Must Obey God Rather Than Men

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 18, 2026

As our world, and nation, become increasingly hostile to faith, we may face a hard choice: obey orders from human authorities which conflict with God’s Law, or disobey and face the consequences. This sermon looks at three scenarios in Daniel and draws lessons for us today.

This morning, This morning, I’d like to address a concern that many of us have as we read and watch the news, as we observe the changes taking place in the world, and specifically in what used to be considered Christian nations. And what we are seeing is a growing hostility to Christian witness and ...read more

05 - James 2:14-26 Series

Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 25, 2021

This is 5th of 11 Studies in the Book of James. In this study we'll be looking at the fact that faith that is not followed up with a life of love and obedience is no faith at all. Connections are made with the faith of Abraham and that of Rahab as well.

James 2:14-17 “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things ...read more
